The Power Bracelet's exact function depends on the game. In the original ''Zelda'' game, it was the most different from later games in that it merely allowed Link to push certain rocks which concealed caves or secret areas such as the warp rooms. In the early handheld ''Zelda'' installments, the Power Bracelet is employed as an inventory item that essentially acts as the "carry" button, allowing Link to carry and throw small rocks and jars that he should have already been capable of lifting. Within the 3-D games and other later appearances, Link is automatically capable of carrying basic items, and the Power Bracelet instead acts as an actual strength enhancer, allowing Link to lift large and heavy stones or even trees in ''Four Swords Adventures''.

The Power Bracelet (sometimes shown as a plural set) is a strength-enhancing bracelet that has become a recurring presence within the The Legend of Zelda series.

Information[edit]

The Power Bracelet's exact function depends on the game. In the original Zelda game, it was the most different from later games in that it merely allowed Link to push certain rocks which concealed caves or secret areas such as the warp rooms. In the early handheld Zelda installments, the Power Bracelet is employed as an inventory item that essentially acts as the "carry" button, allowing Link to carry and throw small rocks and jars that he should have already been capable of lifting. Within the 3-D games and other later appearances, Link is automatically capable of carrying basic items, and the Power Bracelet instead acts as a strength enhancer, allowing Link to lift large and heavy stones or even trees in Four Swords Adventures.

Power Bracelets have different types of upgrades depending on the game, usually a Level 2 Power Bracelet or the Power Glove in one game. These upgrades allowed Link to lift heavier objects.

Appearances[edit]

In The Legend of Zelda, the Power Bracelet was hidden underneath an Armos along Death Mountain near the graveyard. In Link's Awakening, the Power Bracelet was found at the Bottle Grotto, and the upgraded L-2 Power Ring was found at the Face Shrine. In Ocarina of Time, Darunia gave the Goron's Bracelet to Link after hearing Saria's Song. It acted as a strength enhancer solely for Young Link and was primarily used for lifting Bomb Flowers within this game. In Oracle of Ages, it was found at Spirit's Grave, and in Oracle of Seasons it could be found at the Snake's Remains.

In The Wind Waker, a pair of Power Bracelets were found at Fire Mountain, which could only be accessed using the Ice Arrows, and they were automatically equipped after being obtained. In Four Swords Adventures, the Power Bracelet was an item that could be found and automatically equipped in various areas of the game, but they could only be kept for the duration of the level. In The Minish Cap, a pair of Power Bracelets could be obtained beneath Hyrule Town while in Minish form.

Other Appearances[edit]

There was also a similar item card for the Power Bracelets on the Wind Waker-related maps.
